There is something deeply comforting about a bowl of steaming, aromatic broth loaded with tender shredded chicken, and this pho-style soup delivers that feeling in a big way. The magic starts with charring the onion, garlic, and fresh ginger directly in a dry pot — that step alone builds a smoky, caramelized depth that makes the broth taste like it simmered all day. Ground turmeric and Ceylon cinnamon round out the flavor with warmth and a gorgeous golden color, while coconut aminos and a splash of apple cider vinegar add just the right savory-bright balance. Instead of rice noodles, spiralized zucchini ribbons soak up the hot broth and turn perfectly tender-crisp in seconds, making this a lighter but still deeply satisfying bowl. Fresh cilantro, Thai basil, scallions, and a squeeze of lime at the table let everyone customize their serving, which makes it feel restaurant-worthy without any extra effort. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from tree nuts, so there is no label-reading stress or substitution juggling required — just clean, bold flavors from start to finish.

Set a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Place the onion halves and garlic head cut-side down directly in the dry pot, along with the ginger halves. Cook undisturbed for 4–5 minutes, until the cut surfaces are deeply charred and fragrant.
Add the chicken pieces, bone broth, turmeric, ground ginger, Ceylon cinnamon, and cloves to the pot. Pour in enough water to fully submerge the chicken if needed (up to 2 additional cups). Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a steady simmer.
